DMCA Hurts Copyright Holders, Too 47
adam613 writes: "Further proof that the DMCA is designed to protect corporations rather than copyright holders: ZDNet is reporting that an author who published e-books that an AOL user posted on Usenet can not hold AOL legally responsible. While AOL is an ISP and ISPs can not feasibly censor their users, AOL is also a content provider, just like Napster. In the end, the copyright holder who the DMCA is supposed to protect got screwed. Things could start to get interesting here...any lawyers ready to make judges start scratching their heads?"
Why should this guy benefit? (Score:1, Funny)
If he wanted laws to protect him, he should have purchased a congressman, just as our friends at Disney, AOLTW, etc did.
Benefiting from laws you didn't pay for is STEALING!
